Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his dark and macabre writings, not for his self-help advice. Author Catherine Baab-Muguira, however, explores the biography and works of Poe to find inspiration on how to live life to its fullest. In this episode, we interview Cat about her book Poe for your Problems: Uncommon Advice from History's Least Likely Self-Help Guru. Cat also discusses some of the other dark history from her (and Poe's) hometown of Richmond, Virginia, and shows us that history will continue to haunt us until we finally are ready to acknowledge it.
